Marvel at the vivid red torii gate of Gozanoishi Shrine on the banks of Lake Tazawa – the deepest in Japan at 423m! ⛩️ According to legend, a young woman named Tatsuko turned into a dragon on her quest for eternal beauty. 🐉 Locals believe that Tatsuko still resides in the lake as guardian, and keeps it from freezing over in the cold winter of Akita Prefecture.❄️ Photo by @jonny.melon #VisitJapanAU #Tradition
